Hi,  
I have a very large site built over the years with Rapidweaver. To keep it manageable the site is split into 5 sections each with its own Rapidweaver Project File stored in their own folder in Transmit. Rapidweaver is building an xml file for each section but the urls it creates are not correct because it does not know that the project is inside a folder. I think this is causing the Google Console to come up with errors. Is there a way I can stop Rapidweaver creating a xml sitemap file for a section so I can create my own sitemap file.

Richard

Yes! Look under the Advanced settings and you can turn off the sitemap generation. You’ll also need to log into your ftp server and manual delete the sitemaps you don’t need. After that, you should be good to go!

Thank you Dan for your speedy response. When you have being using Rapidweaver every day for so many years you think you know it all. But in fact you just remember the features you are regulalry using. That plus getting older.

Don’t forget to create a correct sitemap after you removed the incorrect one 🙂

Cheers,

Thanks Erwin. I found the site [xml-sitemaps.com](http://xml-sitemaps.com) and have now created new site maps. This all started with Google Console which certainly can find website errors.
